but to me it felt like there weren't that many different plains of depth (i'm making these terms up but hope you get my drift) so thing were either forground, middleground, or background. Bits of it were still really impressive, whilst other bits were just distracting - like not being able to see what you were meant to be focusing on because there was a tree branch or someone's head in the way.

can you think of any film ever that's actually done live-action humans interacting with cgi creatures well? it's always awful, and i'd go as far as to say it's probably the least appealing thing a film can feature for me.

(Assume we are talking ones in live action films here, because if you're saying Pixar's output is really really awful you probably need to reevaluate your ability to judge films.)

In fact the Star Wars prequels probably have 50% of all of them. Roger Rabbit isn't CGI but really you're saying any character who isn't human who speaks to humans is terrible, which seems a pretty dodgy claim.

We haven't seen this film and the examples we have are few and far between. You can't say it'll ruin it without having seen it.

as much as i'm a massive fan, i can see flaws with it. it just happens that i think most of the common criticisms levelled at it are generally complete rubbish - i.e. "making it up as theyre going along!!!1!" pish.

Moreover you can't actually be sure they're not just making it up as they go along any more than someone could prove otherwise.

I *will* say that what I've seen of the first four seasons make it seem often like they are doing a Raymond Chandler and just making up plot twists mid-story because they're not sure where they're going next.
